Stepcase Lifehack: "For university students around the US it’s time to go back to school
, or go for the first time for freshmen. European and other students might have a while before the next school year starts up, but this advice is for them, too.
Talk to your professors!
In one of my earliest posts here at Lifehack, I explained how to talk to a professor – today, I want to talk about why you should talk with your professors."

This is something I need to work on this semester. After crits last semester I was told to talk more in class, and I think outside of class would be just as helpful. One of my goals this semester is to talk to my professors in and out of class, of course once this flu goes away!
I was also told to talk more in class at my crits last semester, and I plan on working on this. There are certain times when I feel comfortable listening to the discussion around me and absorbing the information, but I also plan on contributing more this semester, so that my questions or ideas can be commented on.
Although I agree that everyone really should speak up more in class, including myself, I really think this article was making a point about students talking to their professors outside of class. Now in the school of drama we don't have the problem of large classes. The most people I have in a class is around 12 so the teacher really do know everyone and they know us pretty well. So even though there is a better relationship between students and teachers in the SOD I think its still important to us to get to know our teachers outside of the classroom. First of all because we can learn a lot of other things than we do in the classroom, but also because once we leave college we are going to be apart of the same small work field as them. It would be better to know them on a different level than just a professor.
Thanks professor. In the School of Drama, I know that we are more close with our professors than many other students at the university but, I think that we should still make a bit more of an effort -- but, not so much that you annoy them.
